    mopar lowering springs impression

    I have added the mopar lowering springs and LOVE EM.....

    They are much more responsive now.....

    Handle turns better...

    Its not a "wave machine" in the dips anymore....

    I have no rubbing with full turns in FWD or REV with the 22's.....

    I had no bottoming out going over gigantic speed bumps at the grocery store.....

    The ride is nowhere near as harsh as I thought it would be!!!! I remember what my lowered S10 was like and it was kidney jarring!!!!!

    It has the same ride quality as what I remember the srt drove like in a test drive a few months ago....

    I highly recommend this kit for those that are contemplating springs....

    Here is a pic of the drop:



    Here is a link to more pics:

    For those that do this and plan on installing the kit yourself.....PM me for details....

    My friend and I did it different than the supplied instructions for the front.....

    There is NO need to take the top linkage and top A-arm from the spindle apart and risk damaging the rubber boot.....

    All you have to do is take the calipers off, use a pry bar to lower the lower control arm and the shock will slide right out!!!!!

    The whole thing took about 3 to 4 hours with many breaks!!!!!

    I will keep everyone updated on the life of the shocks with this kit VS the life expectency of the Eibach kit........

    i was thinking of going full srt8 suspension.. so you recommend the 1" drop springs instead, or in addition to the srt8 suspension?

    Lookin good man! I didnt realize that the chargers and 300s stock suspension were "wavey" like the magnum. Changing the suspension on mine was the best money spent on it so far!
